While it has nothing to do with capital markets, in what will surely be the biggest news of the day for most of the “developed” world, overnight Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint at a luxury residence in Paris by at least two men dressed as police officers, according to her publicist and police. Cited by the BBC, a police spokesman said the haul from the robbery, mostly jewellery, was worth up to €6 million ($6.7 million).

Kardashian West stayed at the luxury residence, behind Paris’s Madeleine church, at least once before, in 2014 before her marriage to West. “The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated,” police said.

The concierge led the gunmen to the residence where they tied Kardashian West up in the bathroom, police said. A spokeswoman for the reality TV star, who is 35, said she was “badly shaken but physically unharmed”. Reports say the star has now left France, flying out of a Paris airport aboard a private jet.

Ina Treciokas told CNN the robbery was carried out by two masked men with guns. Police sources told the Associated Press news agency that they were seeking five assailants, two of whom had forced their way into the house. A jewellery box containing valuables worth €6 million was stolen, as well as a ring worth €4 million, AP reported, citing police officials.
